Attention! Pirelli, Bridgestone...lover, you got to read this!

I have tried P700o super sport, Bridgestone Potenza on my 17" AMG before. Last fall, one of my friend work at American Tire recommended me to use a new brand call " KUMHO". and I decided to give it a try. I put on a set of Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 (225/45R17). After putting 10,000 miles on these. I think I will keep using KUMHO instead of other very well known brand.

If you have too much road noise from your front wheel (common problem on Pirelli and bridgestone when you have + size wheel/tires installedon W202), you got to try KUMHO. After I have KUMHO on, I felt a huge difference. hardly can hear any road noise.

The handling and tread life is about the same as those name brand.

But most important!, it cost 2/3 of those name brand tire. (Approx. USD100-110/each).

If you want more user feed back on this brand, check out tirerack.com, it has complete report on this tire.
